Bridge Builders

In the years that shape us, difference can become a bridge. Walking with TCK youth between cultures.

Bridge Builders supports Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and the adults around them—parents, educators, and organizations—by providing practical resources, training, and community.

About Bridge Builders

Japan has a unique culture—and for many TCKs, that can bring real challenges.

Some were raised overseas and, even as Japanese, struggle to feel at home in Japanese culture. Others have a different nationality but grew up in Japan—and whether they live in Japan or return to their parents’ country, they can still feel like an outsider.

Bridge Builders comes alongside teens with third-culture backgrounds as they navigate life between cultures and identity questions, so they can move forward with clarity and live as themselves.
